Thanks for running this again guys! This gives everyone a chance to win something. If you come and play good you will cash. Handicap leagues were fun when Fox Valley ran them too. Love the 3rd ctp idea.

i like the ida ..... so how dose the handicap play in to the scoring?....

What we do is use past data to determine what a 1000 rated player would shoot at a given course (SSA). Then we would use your player rating to determine what you should be shooting on this course. Your handicap is 80% of the difference.

Ex:Channahon Short Tees- SSA=45.95Player Rating: 855 means on average you should shoot 57.8157.81-45.95=11.8680% of 11.86=9.49 which would be rounded to 9. This would be your handicap.

Your final score would be what you shot minus your handicap. We use this adjusted score to figure payouts and points.

We precede the Wednesday doubles schedule. The same time, same course, one day earlier. The first few times are 5:15 starts, you need to check the schedule. It's a little more time consuming setting things up, so it would be helpful to be there 10 minutes early. What some do is call someone else & let them know you're coming. That way you could be set up & not penalize others that are there early. We do our beat to start on time. Sign up starts around 5:00. That helps give mercy to use running the league, assuming a 5:30 start.
